• Visual Studio Express Editions Starting Visual C++ Express for the first time

  g'day: I just installed VC++ Express. I am not a C programmer, but I am somewaht familiar with VB.Net. The msdn site ...visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx has instructions for adding paths and modifying the corewin_express.vsprops file, which I followed (except that my Platform SDK is in D:, not C: - I assume you need the $ sign heading the Paths). Step 5 is to generate and build a Win32 app to test those paths. I get build failures due to an err ...Show All

• Visual Studio Uncheck file replace - ANNOYING

  I had files checked out for sometime.  During this time my computer name has changed.  When I go to check my files back in I get a notification about the name being different than the name to who the folder is checked out to.  (keep in mind I have worked on these files for a while)  So being cautious I decide that if the names between my machine and the record of the machine on ss do not match, I should probably uncheck out t ...Show All

• Windows Forms The v2 DatePicker doesn't support null databinding (bug?)

  The following code (which is a simple test windows form - visual studio team 2005 system beta 3 refresh) demonstrates what I believe is a bug in the DatePicker control. When a datepicker is bound to a binding source set to an object, properties of type DateTime that are null are not updated when the user (at runtime) changes the date. This is a real pain; and, frankly, makes the date picker useless to bind to database-derived datatables w ...Show All

• .NET Development SendKeys and DirectX

     I've been trying to send keystrokes to a directx application, however normal sendkeys does not work. Assuming this is because DirectX is its own virtual domain, or the keyboard is exclusive to the application, is there anyway to send key strokes using direct input or similar I've just started playing around with adding voice recognition to games I play. I was able to send keystrokes to a d ...Show All

• SQL Server Farms

  I'm new to the architect world and I'm trying to solve a performance problem with a SQL Server cluster.

So, what is a farm Is it better than a cluster Where can I find information on creating a SQL Server farm Many th ...Show All
